Disruptive Finance Stocks (sorted by Growth)
This Steady Growth Juggernaut is a Gift from the Market
There is a lot to like about the highly-profitable business we review in this report, including its high margins, powerful revenue growth, large total addressable market opportunity, impressive history of dividend growth (10+ years) and its compelling valuation. The company helps consumers and small businesses make short work of their financial responsibilities and challenges. And the shares have absurdly lost nearly 50% of their value since November as they’ve gotten caught up in the recent market-wide high-growth selloff. Yet, yesterday’s earnings announcement makes clear this business is still quite healthy (they again exceeded expectations) and on track to do even better (perhaps dramatically so) in the years ahead.
Attractive 7.1% Yield BDC: Monthly Dividend, Compelling Valuation
The well-managed, blue-chip, Business Development Company (“BDC”) we review in this report currently trades at a compelling price, it offers a healthy dividend, and it sits at an attractive spot in the current business cycle. But is it worth investing? This report reviews all the details and then concludes with our opinion on investing.
CEF Rover: Bond CEFs Are Ugly--Could Get Uglier
This quick note shares data on over 100 big-yield (7% to 14%+) bond Closed-End Funds (“CEFs”), including discounts/premiums, recent returns, amount of leverage, and more. Returns have been ugly this year (as interest rates have risen), and they could get uglier considering the Fed is set to keep raising, losses will be magnified by the use of leverage, and forced “fire sales” could make matters worse as the funds mathematically bump up against regulatory leverage limits. Caveat Emptor.
Disciplined Growth Portfolio: 6 New Buys!
I don’t trade often (because I believe in long-term investing), but recent market dislocation has created some very attractive buying opportunities. Year-to-date, growth stocks have been hammered, and as counterintuitive as that may seem—that can often be the best time to buy. In this report, we review the new buys, the new “buy under” prices, and the aggregate portfolio details. has all the details.
Albemarle to Benefit from Inflation, EV Lithium Demand
The basic materials stock we review in this report has increased its dividend for 28-years in a row. It also has newfound growth opportunities related to dramatically increasing lithium demand and pricing (courtesy of exploding demand for lithium-based batteries in electric vehicles, for example). Not to mention, the basic materials sector can continue to be a highly attractive inflation hedge. In this report, we review the details and then conclude with our opinion on investing.
Micron: 25 Growth Stocks To Rip Higher
To the satisfaction of many prognosticators, hoards of “pandemic darling” stocks have now fallen more than 30%, 50% and even 70%. However, it’s worth noting that some of them actually have impressive businesses and now trade at dramatically more compelling valuation multiples—even after taking into consideration the risks created by the fed’s aggressive interest rate hike trajectory (to battle inflation) which could drive us into recession and decisively warrant discounted valuation multiples being assigned to these businesses still on track to achieve significantly higher future earnings. In this report, we highlight 25 examples, including a special focus on Micron (MU).
Income Equity Portfolio: MANY New Buys!
I don’t trade often (because I believe in long-term investing), but recent market dislocation has created some very attractive buying opportunities. Year-to-date, the Blue Harbinger Income Equity Portfolio has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 (this has been due to its large overweight to very high-income securities, in particular). However, going forward, the strategy is focused more heavily on steady dividend/income growth—through compelling blue-chip capital appreciation opportunities. This report has all the details.
A Special Note on Market Volatility
This Steady Dividend Growth Stock Is Attractive
If you are into wide-moat, blue-chip, dividend-growth stocks, you might want to consider the impressive industrial stock in this report. It’s not a high-flying growth stock, nor does it offer a massive dividend yield, but it does have a healthy growing dividend (2.0% yield), ongoing share repurchases, strong operating margins and a business that is virtually impossible for competitors to replicate. It’s also a high book value business (which can be valuable in times of inflation). We will review this attractive business in detail in this report (including valuation and risks), and then conclude with our opinion on investing (we currently own shares in our income portfolio).
